View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

Carpenter Stainless No. 2 Mold Steel is a 13% chromium steel ideally suited for long-run molding jobs. It is specifically used for protection against the following corrosive conditions: (1) Rusting of cavities when machines are shut down or molds are stored, (2) Rusting of mold cavities when using corrosive plastics, and (3) Corrosion problems when molds are used in hot, humid climates. In addition to resisting the above corrosive conditions, users have found that this steel has many other cost-reducing advantages for applications where corrosion is not involved.
